Set up a proper dashcam

Sentry mode is good. A dedicated dashcam with parking mode and cloud backup is better.

Built-in cameras have blind spots and limited storage. A Viofo A129 Pro Duo or BlackVue DR900X covers front and rear in 4K, with hardwire parking mode that doesn't drain your 12V. Cloud upload means footage survives even if someone steals the camera.

How many of these have you done?
